Then the captain said they made the difficult decision to not bring any of our luggage,&#8221; she said,.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The specifics of the security issue remained undisclosed, with passengers simply informed that every bag was left behind, reports <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/world-news\/ryanair-passengers-landing-spain-left-35586620\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">the Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;We were told today that it was 70 bags that didn&#8217;t fly.
